Default Re: Oats and which are safe?

Like a lot of animals once the babies are old enough to eat solid food they quickly lose any ability to digest lactose, a tiny bit of normal milk once in a while shouldn't do any harm at all really but certainly not lactose in any quantity in milk, cheese or yogurt.

CMB - Munchalot explains this in this part of their post which was mentioned earlier. I quoted the relevant part for you below . Hope that helps you!

Some hammies are fine with it and don't experience upset, but to stay cautious and avoid any potential issues, you might as well use whats preferable. Kitten milk has reduced lactose, which makes it more digestible.

Ok thanks cypher ! I think I'll stick to warm water or plain oats so it doesn't get over complicated. A huge cartoon of lactomilk is a bit unnecessary for me as a treat occasionally for one hammy.

EDIT: Wow in the time it took for me to write that, you two already cleared up the issue on lactose
